Downhill from there.

Whether one likes it or not, Life is not safe nor is it easy and no society/gov't can make it different (as long as we have more ppl than we have resources). Darwin wins in the long run.

True, but Darwin's theory was about survival through adaptation, evolution and natural selection. This is true for every species and doesn't mean we can't coexist.

One of the problems is that Man now has the ability to circumvent Darwin (at least for a little while). We have increased lifespans and reduced mortality rates to the point where we are outgrowing what society and the environment can sustain. We have created a bubble that will eventually burst. Same with the economy.
